Quick Update from Sherman

Hi Everybody!

I miss Grapevine, Keller and all that goes with it! The move went well- I got one carload up here and have more stuff hiding in my sister and brother-n-law's guest room! I got to Sherman and moved into a hotel for 2 nights. That was fun, it was up in Denison (only about 15 min north of Sherman).

I got to pick up keys to the apartment on Monday after work since, thankfully, I seem to be able to get off work between 330 and 430 every day. I couldn't stay in the apartment on Monday because my housewares were not here yet and I discovered that the apartment did not have a shower rod! Have you ever heard of an apartment "not including" that before? Thats what they told me... oh well, they are not expensive.

So Today, Tuesday, I picked up a shower rod, some minor groceries and finally got to come "home". My rented furniture is pretty nice this time, I have aqua blue couches!

Lastly- I miss my puppy dog!!! He is vacationing at Sara's and Austin's house and probably doesnt even know that I am not there. He loves it there, but I want him up here with me. Friday cant come fast enough when I can head back to Keller to get him!

OMG- I've never done that before!

So, I am sort of lame, I know. On my way home tonight I was listening to the radio and a guy was on talking about learning how to whistle.

Its silly, but I have never known how to whistle, and I have tried, really tried!

So, while driving home tonight, I am practicing in my car. And....

I did it! three times- I whistled.

I am not sure if the fact that I whistled for the first time, or the fact that I am so excited about it is more pathetic- but I dont care. Now, this was not part of my 40 by 40 list, but it should have been! I had sort of given up- thinking it was never possible...

Ok, now everybody laugh together! Dont worry, I am too- I just read back what I wrote. But, I really am happy that I did it... not sure if I will be able to do it again- I'll keep practicing.

So much news, so little time

I finally have a place to go in two weeks! I am moving to Sherman Texas, a small town just south of the Texas/ Oklahoma border. Its tiny but its there. I am going up there for three months, then who knows... lets see where the wind takes me....

The good news is that I am not going to be far from Dallas Fort Worth were alot of my friends live. I am going to miss them- REALLY REALLY miss them. Who am I going to call to go to Target with??? Who am I going to plan 5K's with and then not show up???
But, I will more than likley be in the area on most weekends. So, I am not Gone!, just not close.
Here are just a few people that I have met while being here- thanks for making the past year so great!

Cheryl, Carly and Freddy (not in picture, sorry)

What a cute baby!

Melissa- what a year we had here- 60 miles never hurt so much- ouch feet! But it was SOOO TOTALLY WORTH EVERY STEP!

The football game/ poker tournament gang! Until next season!

Oh the ladies from OCH! I would never have been here this long if it werent for all of you! Great people to work with, great people to know and call friends.
